The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore has claimed the lives of six construction workers, with the body of the third victim, Maynor Yasir Suazo Sandoval, being recovered on Friday morning. The devastating incident occurred when a cargo ship collided with the bridge, sending workers into the dark waters of the Patapsco River.
Despite the challenging conditions, divers have been tirelessly working to locate the remaining victims amidst the underwater wreckage. The recovery efforts have been slow and difficult, with visibility limited to just two feet in front of them as they navigate through the mangled steel and crumbled concrete.
The names of the victims have been released, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of the workers who tragically lost their lives. The families of the victims are left with unanswered questions and a sense of waiting as they hope for closure and the recovery of their loved ones.
Officials and community leaders have expressed their condolences and support for the grieving families, promising to do everything in their power to bring closure to this heartbreaking tragedy. Governor Wes Moore has vowed to continue supporting the families as they navigate this difficult time.
As the recovery efforts continue, the community remains united in mourning the loss of these hardworking individuals who never made it home from their late-night shift on the bridge. The recovery of the victims is a top priority as authorities work to clear the channel and bring closure to the families affected by this devastating event.
